8800 GTX safe temps

[romperstomper]

what do you guys consider safe temps for this card ?
Also is there any way of making your sytem shut down if it goes beyond a certain limit or will it just crash ?
I have shut downs set for my cpu,system and pwm in bios but what about my poor graphics card
Also a warning for anyone using "expertool" to set fans speeds the 2d and 3d
does not appear to be auto you have to click on 3d before gaming ! Was getting 95c on the gpu before now dropped to 83c.

95c sounds a bit much to me but I dont own one.

Rivatuner will show temps in games

I'd be looking at keeping the core under 85c under load.

i just used riva tuner to monitor the temps on my bfg7800gt ....100c after looping a test in 3dmark for about 30 mins.(fan was on 100% but the temp didnt drop)

this is after i just cleaned all dust out from inside the pc....wonder what the temp was before cleaning.
no wonder i kept getting slow down stuttering and crashes in TDU after about 30mins play.

You need to get a tiny copper saucepan to clip onto the top of the heatsink and put that heat to good use I think

Seems pretty toasty. Is that with the fan on 100%? I was getting up to 86 or so, then set the fan to 100% all the time and it rarely seems to get above 80 now. Idle temps went way down too. The noise isn't all that noticable either.

Ive just checked my temps. As soon as 3dMark06 finishes my temp(according to Rivatuner) is 60c with a Thermalright cooler fitted.
